The heart centre within us corresponds to the energy of Leo. The Sun rules the sign of Leo. Its symbol is the circle with a central point. Whenever the Sun transits through this sign, it stimulates the leonine qualities in us.
Leo is the sign of self-consciousness, and the Sun in the heart lotus is its symbol. The self-awareness of a personality that is proud of itself is the first level of development in a human and it is different from being aware of the Self or the Soul. The little ‘I am’ of the personality finds the great ‘I AM’ of the Soul through contemplation in the heart centre.
The heart centre is the pulsating space where we can receive love-energy from subtle sources. The heart is the divine ‘micro-space’, while the cosmic space is the ‘macro-space’ or the absolute God. This space is also located in our heart, the lion’s den. We are the heart of space.
Elements of Nasa photos of galaxies were used for the background, in which the petals of a sunflower are integrated. They refer to the petals of the heart lotus.
The Circle of Good Will invites you to the second Aquarian Salon of the third cycle on Art, Astrology and Wisdom Teachings, Saturday, August 16, 2025. Theme: The Ascent.
The meeting on Zoom will start 7pm, CEST (UTC +2) / 12 pm, CDT (UTC -5), 10 am PDT (UTC – 7). Opening is 15 minutes earlier with guitar music. The duration of the Salon is approx. 90 min, followed by the Social Hour – After Program Discussion.
Solstices and equinoxes are meant for attuning to the rhythm and beauty of nature and the subtle energies of time. Aligning ourselves helps to reorder our energies and become more integrated into the larger systems of creation.

This year, we were a small group of friends coming from Austria, South Germany and Switzerland. We again started with a fire ritual on the mountain ridge of the Etzel pass. It was a sublime ambiance at this silent place with a phantastic view to the surrounding hills and mountains.

Afterwards, in the Paracelsus Center, we contemplated on the solstice energies, did a little candle ritual and meditation and had an exchange on some spiritual topics. Of course, cooking and eating together also form part of the solstice gathering.
The water sign Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Moon is the reflective principle and represents the lower reflective mind. When our thinking is affected by the fluctuations of moods, our thinking and impressions become distorted. When our mind is distorted, what we think we have heard from others does not reflect reality. It is important to build the lower mind with real information and to purify and train our lower brain mind. Saturn is the higher dimension of the Moon and rules Cancer on the higher planes. Saturn teaches us patience and tolerance. When we have learned our lessons, Saturn passes us on to Jupiter. Jupiter slowly opens up the higher realms of wisdom to us.
This year, the European Master CVV May Call Day celebration took place in Platja D’Aro, a coastal town in the province of Girona at the Costa Brava, Spain, from 27 – 31 May 2025. I travelled with a small group of friends, flying from Memmingen near Munich to Girona.
We flew one day earlier and stayed a few days afterwards. I share here some impressions from the journey. Note the observations at the end of the blogpost.
Rainy early morning start in Memmingen
Some more members from Germany arrived in Girona around the same time. We rent cars for the group journeys and drove to Platja D’Aro. The huge hotel was located in a shopping area near a little marina. Boats in the harbour sleeping, many houses around nearly empty – pre-season time.
Stairway to Girona Cathedral
Next morning, our little group went to Girona for visiting the Cathedral, the Basilica San Feliu and the old town. Plenty of tourists were already filling the streets and parkings – and we among them. I had visited Girona and the cathedral on a group journey and with family. There is a magic of profound spiritual aspiration crystallised to stones and sacred art of earlier centuries, captured in huge church halls with coloured windows, altars and angels. Nature, the river, and the buildings around reflected a long history.

Tuesday afternoon, the May Call celebration started. There were over 180 members mainly from Spain but also from different European countries and from North and South America. A travel group of 16 members, together with Guru Prasad and his wife, had come from India, and they had visited several spiritually important places in Europe. The program of the group life had a good rhythm of meditations, lectures, and leisure time for exchanges and rest.
There were videos of Master KPK teaching and series of lectures by Guru Prasad on “The Yoga of Master CVV and its Practice” – all talks were with physical and zoom translation teams of members.
Wednesday evening, we had the meeting of the Executive and Advisory groups of WTT-Global, physical and via zoom – a technical challenge.
There were exchanges of gifts and presentations of books and of the Annual Report 2025 of WTT-Global.
Presenting the Annual Report
There were several speeches by group members (here the text of the talk on “Brotherhood“). And, above all, there were many exchanges with other members during the whole group life, and very intense networking in a spirit of synthesis.

Soon the May Call time was already over and saying good-bye to the friends from the bigger group. Our small travel group stayed together for a few more days in a nice apartment at Calella de Palafrugell at the Costa Brava. It was a beautiful little group life, after the bigger May Call group life, travelling, meditating, cooking, experiencing the surroundings together.
Early morning before sunrise in Calella – the beach being still empty
On 2 June, we made an excursion to the monastery of Montserrat. Many tourists were around. We tried to stay aligned to the sublime energy of the place.

The Madonna and the Child
At the bottom of the Black Madonna you see two pine cones – I once read that occultly these are not decorative elements but hint at the highest in the human being, the pineal gland of the head center.
In between in the middle, at the feet of the Madonna, there is a silver sea shell – symbol of the Star of the Sea, the World Mother.
The Child is also holding a pine-cone like ball in his left hand.
Very early morning on the 4th, we returned via Girona back to Germany – jumping back into cold weather and another ambiance. At evening prayer time at the home of friends in the Lake Constance area, we saw a big wall of black clouds approaching. A dangerous thunderstorm was announced. Will it destroy the fruits and flowers in the garden and in the surroundings?
Two of us instinctively asked the Devas during meditation to let their energy come down in a soft way. Torrential rains came but nothing in the garden was destroyed – accidentally? At the end of the meditation a bright ray of sunshine lightened the room – a sharp contrast to the nearby area of dark weather. We felt thankful for the blessing and protection during the journey.
Next day in the news, there was a report about the thunderstorm hitting the Allgäu and an emergency landing at the same airport where we had returned, with several persons hurt.
The watery sign of Cancer is ruled by Moon. On the lower planes it represents the consciousness of the masses tinged by floods of emotions. Moon reflects the rays of all other planets, especially of Neptune. On the lower planes, Neptune causes (self-) delusion and glamour. On the higher planes, Neptune refines us, offering profound experiences of ecstatic joy and absorption into oceanic states of awareness. Its colour is aquamarine.
The painting is an inner and outer contemplation. You see a shape of the earth as floating in the ocean of space, a fragile jewel and our home and basis of physical existence. The sea surf in the lower part of the image forms part of the ocean but is also a latent menace of flooding when the heat of the earth increases. As per prophecies in the scriptures, our present wave of humanity will either learn to master the fire / heat or be destroyed.
In the upper part you see a garland of seven stars representing the cosmic Seven Rays from where energies pour forth. Their planetary counterparts are depicted by seven flame-like drops created with transformed photos of aquamarines – the prevalent colour of the image – and a blue jewel, taken in a shop at Iguaçu Falls in Brazil. The drops and the stars indicate the help coming from higher dimensions if we orient to them.
End of March 2025, Neptune entered Aries for a new cycle of 164 years. Saturn, representing laws and regulations, will follow soon and form a conjunction with Neptune, in sextile with Pluto in Aquarius. The painting has been created during this time. It invites us to ponder on the incoming energies, on what we see and what we don’t see and what we might add by our knowledge and awareness in order to gain a more complex picture of the planetary fusion of all life on the planet being one whole.
In Gemini, the One Existence becomes Two. The entire creation is based on opposites – male and female, spirit and matter, light and darkness. Duality exists through the apparent opposites. If we allow ourselves to be drawn into the multiplicity (one side or the other) without understanding their unity, we end up in the conflict of duality. The higher quality of Gemini is the free relationship – freedom through love. Relationships can exist without binding each other. Even in marriage and other types of relationships, beautiful free associations can exist to connect with each other in kindness and joy.
You might not have heard about “micro rituals” -no wonder, that’s how I call self-created little rituals of different kind. I know many here in the West are allergic to rituals – rituals are often associated with the pomp and the old-fashioned forms of a spirituality of the past. However, we are now in a time of the incoming Seventh Ray of rhythm and order, of white magical transformation, coming in with fresh energies. You can forget any lengthy and complicated papers and explanations when it comes to micro rituals. They are something I like to do – and you might like them, too, or already do them without coining them as “micro rituals”:
Whenever you like to repeat something in a regular and rhythmic way, it might already be a micro ritual. It can be in many forms of everyday life, for example how you keep order in the kitchen or bathroom with some loving care to the order. It might become a ritual when you do it with attention and awareness, not just automatically. Done automatically, it is on the way of becoming crystalized – the danger and death of any ritualistic activity. You can keep it alive with maintaining awareness of the presence of suble energies.
It might be the way you water your flowers, or lighten a candle, or how you decorate a little altar. Micro rituals should bring some shine into your life. In 2005, after a long marriage ritual in Visakhapatnam, Master Kumar told us that doing these rituals manifests some light and magnetism in the surroundings which you cannot manifest otherwise -and all of us had strongly felt this.
The magnetic impact can also be felt and manifested in miniature form with a micro ritual. What is important is to inwardly align with it to the subtle world, to the divine, to the greater whole. When you are aware of the beauty and magnetism of what you are doing as a micro ritual, it manifests in your surroundings.
I like doing regularly short visualisations or the short version of the fire ritual. I created some rituals myself, like a little fire ritual when outside it is raining, using seven candles. Just do your own experiments -it needs perseverance our of free will and maintaining a rhythm over a longer time without feeling any inner pressure to do so, like watering a flower on a specific day at a specific time. (I water a flower every Saturday morning.) After some time you will start liking it and it becomes part of your inner rhythm, of your life.
No time for this? Having “no time” is having “no will for this”. Creating a short space in time is part of the subtle mobilising of the will through love. If you love it you will find time to do it. Otherwise better leave it. Will you then have more time? For what? It creates some white magic in life by doing micro rituals.
The wisdom teachings speak of the male-female God. In creation, male and female energies are always together. The masculine corresponds to existence, the feminine corresponds to consciousness. The subjectivity is referred to as the Lord and the objectivity as the power of the Lord, as his wife.
According to ancient Indian tradition, Gemini embodies Shakti and Shiva as Ardhanari, a figure that is half man and half woman. In the Greek tradition, the male-female God is referred to as Adonai. Gemini indicates the ideal status of the androgyne or hermaphrodite, where the masculine and feminine energies are balanced within.
Gemini is also revered as the entrance to the temple of the Lord, the gateway to the subtle world. The two pillars represent Jachin and Boaz, the divine word and its meaning. We can pass between the two pillars when we have attained equilibrium, the state of yoga.
The picture shows the subtle form of the divine hermaphrodite at the gateway between subjectivity and objectivity. You see an egg-shaped figure in the background, symbolising the unity of the male-female energies. Love energy radiates from the centre of the divine androgyne’s heart.
The recording of the “Aquarian Salon 3-1”, a conversation on Art, Astrology & Wisdom Teachings, from 3 May 2025 has now been published on YouTube. The theme was “Transformation”.
The Aquarian Salon itself has undergone a great transformation. Risa D’Angeles, a founding member of the Salon who had given the inspiration to these open online group exchanges on contemplative art, astrology and wisdom teachings, had withdrawn from the organisation team due to age but is continuing to participate. The new format is: A round-table conversation:
Therefore, the general conversation was given more time and participants were integrated in the talk. The conversation on the artworks of the Salon, selected from the “Images of Synthesis“, will keep giving the topics of the exchanges.
The Salon was prepared and operated by a support group of friends – this time by Frank and Ludger, Rosa and Ruth, and Birke. The recording time was 01:48 h. If you would like to see a specific part, go directly to:
